Narrowing her eyes at Shen Qui, Lyca examined the other's reaction. Right now, she was thinking of two ways out of this predicament. Challenge Long Yi until his points reached zero. Or marry another person, like this bloke in front of her. However, both methods were not very suitable at the moment.
In the end, Lyca closed her eyes and thought about her mother and father. In her previous life, she wasn't able to save the people who treated her like a normal human being. In this life… this would never happen. "Can they come here?" She asked. "Visit?"
"Of course, they can. Once a month, they can come here."
"Then prepare!"
"For what?" Shen Qui asked.
"For a war." With her eyes closed, Lyca motioned him to leave her alone. Slowly, Lyca fell into deep contemplation. In every world, powerful people rule and though she had been avoiding the limelight before, she could no longer continue living like this. If she wanted her family to be safe this time, Lyca would never let the shackles of normal reasoning bind her.
After that night, Lyca immediately issued a few more challenges. This time, she challenged everyone in the student council. One member each week. This action caused another commotion. However, how could these people tell their family about a lunatic like this from the Huang Family? They were not allowed to divulge any information about it! Seeing Lyca's unreasonable behavior, they started to get close to her. However, their efforts were futile.
Lyca refused to even talk to someone or accept any tea invites for a tea party. She would always stay cooped up in her room as if she was afraid of sunlight!
Additionally, Lyca has a peculiar bodyguard who didn't allow anyone to approach her as she slept during classes! Even the faculty members were starting to have a headache when dealing with Lyca. It was only a week. ONE WEEK and this woman had already disrespected them over and over again. They tried to embarrass Lyca by calling her, asking her questions, complicated ones but in the end, Lyca would answer them without even opening her eyes! Who would have thought that aside from being unreasonable, Lyca was really smart too?
Slowly, the people in the school started calling her the Lunatic Princess. However, who would dare complain? Lyca didn't break any laws! Not only in the challenges, even in classes, Lyca's intelligence was very obvious- no one would dare complain about her! Plus not one of her targets suffered a grave injury. They would only faint a few seconds before the five minute mark. And points will be taken from them.
After one week of always winning, another news surprised everyone. The famed Long Yi was seen bringing some flowers to Lyca's apartment! Not only this, he brought some expensive gifts too! Everyone was speechless!
This was a blatant move of the Long Family to recruit someone from the Huang Family! How could they allow the Long Family to gain another powerful ally? But then again, what could they do? Even this school was founded by one of the Long Family's ancestors!
Lyca on the other hand, never cared about any of this. She was reviewing her points, everyday. One week and right now she had a total of thirty four points. She could sacrifice twenty points to see her family but her father and mother had already told her that they would visit her next week. Right now, she needed to accumulate enough points for her to become a member of the student council.
Of course, Lyca had no idea what was going on outside of her classes and challenges. She had long stopped asking Shen Qui about rumors and decided to create some chemical models of the formula that she was planning to make for the Huang Family. After all, she was planning to make the Huang Family the number one family in this City.
"Lyca… Long Yi is outside. Should I let him in?" She heard Shen Qui's voice outside.
"No." She answered. "No time."
"Alright." Shen Qui nodded and immediately relayed the news to the man behind the door who was bringing a bouquet of flowers that seemed to be as big as him. "My mistress can't see you right now. She is extremely busy, her body is starting to ache. Seeing you will make her situation worse." He said with a straight face. Right now, Shen Qui has been challenged four times. However, seeing how Lyca always challenged anyone who challenged him, those people seemed to stop issuing various challenges to him. They must have feared Lyca's retaliation!
Of course, this made him elated. Right now, Lyca was also helping him with his body. This made him really grateful and happy. He was always in a good mood! Therefore, he decided to become an even better translator to help Lyca out!
As always, Long Yi just smiled and handed the flowers to Shen Qui. "Please hand this to your mistress. Tell her I will visit the Huang Family this month. I hope… she can come see me after that." While he was smiling, there was an obvious tinge of warning in his voice.
"Okay." Shen Qui nodded and gave him a small smile. Lyca already said that she hated flowers and yet this Long Yi just kept on giving her flowers. Was he really that dumb? Seeing the woman that he liked throw away the flowers should be enough to let him know that Lyca is not big on flowery stuff! If Long Yi was smart, he would have sent her snacks and delicious dishes instead. Shen Qui was sure that Lyca would never say no to that.
Aiyo. It seems that Long Yi was too used to being wooed by women that he actually didn't know how to properly gain a person's heart. With this in mind, Shen Qui started smiling and put all the flowers behind the door. Once it gets dark, Shen Qui would sneak out and throw away the flowers in the forest.
"That man is wasting his money. He could have just bought food and gave it to people in the streets." Shen Qui mumbled as he walked towards the kitchen. It was already eight and yet Lyca was still in her room doing god knows what. This was his cue— it was his signal to start boiling eggs so she could eat.

Authors note: I made a mistake and actually made the points fifteen instead of twenty. Her current total points is already twenty after she win against Xie Jun. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. I already corrected the previous chapter. Big thanks to the person who pointed it out.
Thank you for the support! I am happy and grateful! Please continue voting for the novel.
